Fender Louvers

[Curless Auto]

I was doing a once over on my car before I put it away from the weekend and noticed that the louver on the passenger side is cracked!!!! SHIT! I have pics from a few weeks ago and it was not cracked then... does not look like anyone messed with it or anything, I'm guessing its just a heat / age thing... Anyone have a used one or NOS one they want to sell?

Crickets??? Damn it... anyone used the current aftermarket ones on their X?

i have no input on aftermarket but id keep the original if i used an aftermarket one.

Remove the original.
Have it repaired and painted.
Put it back on.

There are very strong epoxies out there.

That seem will never open again.

Also, I can’t see it just cracking on it’s own.

I’ve never heard of this before.

They aftermarkets do not have the screws and screw holes that visibly hold the vent in place.

I agree with it not seeming right that it did it on its own but I have pulled / pushed / pried on it and the crack does not open... it sucks big time but I guess that's life when you drive em...and I am going to continue to drive it!

I understand that things are expensive for these cars... I have an idea in the works though that may benefit all of us that own one and would like to have a new OEM set...
